There's a discussion with Drew Clark and him. Kurt is saying that it wasn't made clear to him that the HMR'R rules are a subset of the rules governing all record attempts. There's a discussion about emails sent/received regards the rules, with both taking a different view.
Not sure there is a DQ option here:
21 For a rules violation, the Records Chairman may impose a mileage reduction penalty of ten miles for each infraction.
so that's pretty tough
then there is this option
22 UMCA reserves to modify the rules during the attempt. Reasonable notification will be sent to riders involved in an active attempt. A new rule may not be made retroactive in effect.
Then there is
14 If the bike/rider must be transported, the tracking devices must be turned off during transport.
It's a marathon, not a sprint and from what I can see the only rule that allows real advantage is the recumbent one.
